In Spring 2023, the European Urban Initiative (EUI) introduced a transformative capacity-building offer to assist EU cities towards Sustainable Urban Development. One of the main proposed services is: City-to-City Exchanges.
How can a City-to-City Exchange help?
Whether you are working on a urban reforestation project and need to dive deeper into strategies for effective data collection and analysis; want to learn to navigate the complexities of multi-stakeholder involvement; explore cutting-edge practices in areas like decarbonised mobility and biodiversity conservation, etc.; gaining insights from fellow European cities can be both enlightening and inspiring.
Our City-to-City Exchanges are a good way to engage in and learn from European experiences to help in your city strategy. The Exchanges are bilateral in nature, but you can plan to visit up to two peer cities, if relevant. You equally can welcome them back home to close the circle and fully embed the learnings into your future plans.
Key Features of the service
- Easy and short application. Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis; you can expect an answer in 1 month-time.
- This service is dedicated to urban authorities representatives, but relevant stakeholders can join the delegations when justified
- We provide financial support for the actual visits (travel, subsistence etc.), and we can equally assign an expert moderator to help you plan and conduct the meetings in the most efficient way.
